1000 Stories Gold Rush Red is a bold California red blend finished in bourbon barrels for layered vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak.
Produced by 1000 Stories Winery in Mendocino County, California, this Zinfandel-forward blend uses Petite Sirah and other varieties to add color and structure. The bourbon barrel finish — typically around 60 days in used bourbon casks — imparts measurable vanilla and caramel character without masking the ripe red and dark fruit of the underlying blend.
